An "amen" from this corner....with an added slant that I've noticed a lot less of the pathetic elitism that used to reign unchecked here. I get real tired of seeing people slammed for liking ____l or ______(fill in the blanks) as if the gavel wielders had no musical roots and just popped out of the head of Zeus or something with a handful of white labels and exclusive rights to the future of good taste. It's refreshing NOT to have to weed through a hundred emails poo-pooing somebody who likes something that is not this weeks latest flavor. Not that I have ANYTHING against this week's latest flavor, mind you. In fact, I'd love to get my hands on the new Jake Mandell.... jeff Lance C McGannon wrote: > I have to say that i've been very impressed > with the IDM list lately.
